We recently rode the all-new 2024 KTM 390 Duke and here’s what we liked and disliked about the bike:

KTM has somehow managed to make an already aggressive looking bike even more menacing, and we like it! Will surely grab eyeballs on the road

Much better to ride in the city than its previous iteration — Quicker acceleration, improved mid-range, and excellent heat dissipation

Published Sep 17,2023

Feels lighter than its listed 168kg kerb weight, even at low speeds in the city — Compact handling characteristics — 800mm seat is much more approachable now

Published Sep 17,2023

Suspension feels less stiff and more sophisticated— Soaks up bumps better — 5-step compression and rebound-adjustable fork can be adjusted to your liking

New 5-inch console is less cluttered and easier to read — Updated switch cube is intuitive to use

Published Sep 17,2023

Quickshifter works quite well on the new 390 Duke — Nice and smooth clutchless gearshifts once speeds go up a bit

Published Sep 17,2023

The Rs 3,10,520 (ex-showroom Delhi) price tag makes it just Rs 13,405 more than the previous-gen 390 Duke!

Published Sep 17,2023

The orange colourway in the new paint scheme is very loud and a bit too much — Inconsistent panel gaps — Compact dimensions could be an issue for riders over 6 feet

A masterstroke! The new 390 Duke is a lot more practical, demands a lot less from the rider and is loaded with better features & hardware, while maintaining the mad Duke character
